Good for him. I don't ever want to see the replay of his injury as long as i live

And watch it be the first thing they show if he gets drafted.

 

[Hammer]

4-5th rounder if that....

 

[eastside313]

If his rehab is coming along somebody gonna draft him in the middle rounds.

 

[klientel]

dude was the best RB in college...

somebody gotta drop a 5th-7th round pick on him.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Lions will probably trade up to take him in the first or second round.

This is different from McGahee. Rosenhaus was McGahee's agent thats a part of the reason why he went in 1st round,Rosenhaus pretended to talk to other teams and Buffalo drafted him (true story).McGahee also sat out his rookie season,so he went almost 2 years from January 2003 to Sept.2004 without playing in a football game .In Lattimore case,AP came back from knee surgery and here we are 1 year later and he is a threat to run for 2000 yards,so it can be done.At least Lattimore will get a shot tho

 

[the cool]

jerry jones still owns the cowboys.......theres a chance he goes 2nd round

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I'll draft him in the last rd of my next fantasy draft if he can make it through the combine.

 

[JBoy]

I wouldn't mind seeing him in Atlanta
Although with our line, maybe not for his sake

Marcus Lattimore expects to be ready for start of season

South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore is just three months removed from a devastating knee injury that ultimately ended his collegiate career.

The junior elected to declare himself eligible for the NFL Draft and said Tuesday he expects to be ready for the start of the 2013 season for whatever team decides to draft him in April.

“That’s my goal, and it is realistic,” Lattimore said, via Dan Wolken of the USA Today.

Lattimore dislocated his right knee and tore several ligaments in the second quarter of South Carolina’s game against Tennessee on Oct. 27. Lattimore, who was projected to be a first round draft pick before the injury, took a hand-off running to his left when a Tennessee defender hit his square on his planted right leg. As he tumbled to the ground, his leg was noticeably disjointed.

It was the second straight season Lattimore has suffered a knee injury as he tore the ACL in his left knee in 2011.

Per Wolken, Lattimore is expected to begin jogging on land in just two weeks.

“Dr. (James) Andrews came in to see me he said, ‘You’re doing remarkable, you’re doing everything you can.’ His words were, ‘You’re going to shock the world,’” Lattimore said.

After seeing what Adrian Peterson was able to do this season after Andrews operated on him, it might be wise to trust his opinion on Lattimore as well.

Definitely pulling for that brotha, but I hope he sure does have a backup plan and doesn't squander his bread.

Hope that someone takes a shot on him in the later rounds. At worst you wasted a draft pick, but at best you get the most talented running back in the draft. Hope Lattimore comes back and is at least close to the player he once was.
